cheap cross drilleds will crack, especially if they are not chamfered. This will cause a sharper edge and possibility for cracking is greater. However, I have gotten both my fronts GLOWING red before, never cracked them, last I saw, the R8 used cross drilled at lemans....

And fade WILL be an issue, you must take everything into account, ducting, pad, especially the boiling point of the fluid.

Vendors: We will allow you to break the laws of physics and the second law of thermodynamics so long as you provide us with a working model.

you are correct, the collapsed lifter really doesnt pose any EXTREME danger like a failed wrist pin or somthing but its definitly going to screw somthin up (my cam, bend pushrod through head screwed rocker)

I feel its easier just to replace the whole engine than take the entire top end of the engine off just to replace a set of stock fuggin lifters...its BS.

Actually, Im not sure what the guy ran for exhaust...but I plan on a Dr. Gas x-pipe, and a dynomax pro cat back...

will lose a little low end torque, but top end power is increased quite a bit. Also lined up is a 3G alternator upgrade, smog pump delete, underdrive pullies, moroso cold air, MAF conversion. So if this guy didnt have comperable parts on his stang I may be able to squeeze out more power than he was making (270rwhp)

Ya...that would include a aluminum sportsman block, aluminum heads, one of those small box type intakes and a 12lbs blower

all for about 10 grand...lol...but it would be INSANELY fast!!!

This whole project of mine will cost around 2,000 with all that stuff listed (plus some other little things like a hardened steel throwout bearing retainer, steeda triax shifter, subframe connectors.)

Im almost positive my school motorsports shop has an extrude hone porting machine, so I'll be able to have extrude honed intake, along with a nice nifty port and valve job on the head!! FOR FREE!!!! YIPEE!!! I pay for parts (a set of gaskets, whoopie friggin do)
